Since I had some interest expressed in a story, I thought I'd attempt to write and render one. What started as a venture into a short series has sort of ballooned into a more lengthy series of renders. It's a story with a bit of a fictional twist based on today's stories of androids and future technological breakthroughs in genetics and cloning; but perhaps not in an overly obvious way once you proceed into the story. You will see, the characters are very realistic with a sort of real every day quality. It is set in the future, obviously, but where time becomes simpler and more focused on quality of life and the redevelopment of a family life. Perhaps a time we would be better off returning to ourselves in this day and time where it seems we never have the time to appreciate our lives, family, and friends with the same relaxed quality we used to have once. This is a preview of one of the characters. She is the eldest daughter, and I honestly haven't even named her yet. She emerges from ugly duckling to beautiful swan throughout the story too. Nearly the splitting image of her mother in everyway, but certainly not at first. She develops, going from the first and for a short time, only child, into resentment of her siblings who she believes are drawing more parental attention than she receives. Gradually she seems to decline towards a state of despair, an event all too common among children leads to a realization which begins her ascent towards the beautiful young woman she will become. I've a little ways to go, but have been rendering images, sometimes several scenes a day with changing characters and scenes. It's taken a while, and there's a twist near the end which I am now entering into the process of rendering scenes for. I hope those interested can follow along with the story and enjoy my take on a mild sci-fi story. There's no lasers, no spacecraft, and no aliens; but there is more a transformation from the future to a bit of the past. I hope you'll find it interesting as it's more ordinary people living ordinary lives; with just a little twist. I will hopefully be at the point where I can start posting and writing it soon. Keep and eye out for it if it interests you.
